The trailer is set to be released at 3 PM EST or 12 PM PST and is intended to provide audiences with a better understanding of the game as whole while simultaneously showcasing many of the new gameplay mechanics. This includes largely focusing on the all new Mother Base component of the Metal Gear Solid series which Konami promises will bring a whole new level of strategy to the stealth espionage gameplay as well as feed into the game's multiplayer mode.

Gamescom will treat their attendees to a playable demo entitled "A Hero's Way" which is set in Afghanistan and marks the first time the game will be available for the public to play.
